Hello,
The Eleazer Cassady line is, if we've done the homework right, descended from John
CASSIDY of Sussex County, NJ. John had four sons, John Jr, Patrick, James and William,
that we know of. They are mentioned in his will.
We think that Eleazer is a son of William.
There is also a line, extending from John Jr., where the spelling is CASSEDY.
In a couple of these lines we can follow westward migrations to Ohio, Michigan, Kansas and
others, but nothing in the south.
So, we have a lot of questions, few answers.
Sussex County is in the far northwest corner of New Jersey. There is/are a number of
CASSADY soruces associated with counties in southern New Jersey, such as Salem and
Gloucester. Some of those lines seem to have links to migrations to TN and KY at least.
Not sure about LA or VA.
Rick
